ORIGINAL POSTER
Here is some tips for the tourist 30 day extension forms, for any newbies.

When I report to immigration for the TM 30 after arriving in Thailand 24 hours earlier, I go to the visa information office and pick up the forms for the extension.

I then take them home and fill them in at my leisure, I also make a photo. copy of the blank form. in case I make any mistakes.

This saves time when I actually go for my extension..

Also yesterday at immigration I took a photo of all the completed forms that Thailand py partner had to sign,

This will help for next year's forms, If I am still fit enough to return

It was busy yesterday at Korat IMO, but 4 hours to complete that included a 1 hour lunch break wasn't too bad.
